Making Waves with Pro Beauty Tools Curl Wand

Looking to try a loose beachy wave look? Well, I might just have the tool for you! Pro Beauty Tools Curl Wand creates beautiful loose waves quickly and without too much effort.

A bit about my hair:My hair is super long and naturally stick straight. While portions of my hair recently went through a wavy phase (from discontinuing birth control), my hair has adjusted back to its natural straight tendency. So, not only is my hair hard to curl, but also its length and natural straight tendency seem to pull the curl right out of my hair. Alas, curls generally do not last long on me. So, with all that said, lets see how this product works for me!

Cute tips and toes! NOTD (POP Beauty and Zoya)

Hello dolls!

I haven't done a NOTD (Nail of the day) in forever. But, with this cute combo, I just couldn't resist posting!

As ya'll may remember, I am a bit bananas about nail polish. I change my polish, on average, 2-3 times per week. Not because I have to, but because I just love playing around with color! While I am mostly a neutrals/natural girl for my makeup, I like getting very experimental with nail color. It is just so fun!

So, for this look we have Zoya's Pandora on the tips and POP Beauty's Nail Glam in Seventeen Turquoise on the toes. I adore both of these polishes! For mini reviews and more photos, please keep reading after the jump!

Cleanlogic Bath & Body Care: review

Some of my favorite items to test out are bath and body items. I mean, these are the real "workhorses" in your beauty arsenal...products that you use every day!

Generally I go for products that are gentle on the skin. I also like products to have a nice scent (without being "overly" scented) and a good price.

For this review I tested out the following items from Cleanlogic Bath & Body Care: Moisturizing Sugar & Rice Body Lotion, Moisturizing Sugar & Rice Body Wash, Cucumber Melon Soap + Sponge, Exfoliating Dual Texture Body Scrubber, Exfoliating Bath Gloves, and the Stretch Bath & Shower Cloth.

The Birchblogger Network: I am an offical Birchbox Blogger!

Happy weekend to all you lovely readers!

I have a fun announcement to make today. I recently got an invitation from Birchbox to join their Birchblogger Network! This is so exciting! As you loyal readers know, I am a huge fan of Birchbox and I frequently blog about the monthly Birchboxes and purchases I have made from Birchbox. 

What is Birchbox? Check out these posts: Birchbox Intro, January Birchbox, Feb Birchbox, March Birchbox, April Birchbox, May Birchbox, June Birchbox, and July Birchbox. 

What does it mean to be a Birchblogger?
Well, nothing will really change on my end. I will continue to blog about my monthly Birchboxes and Birchbox in general just like I always do. But, now I get to include my own personalized link that allows me to earn points for referrals! I know that many of you have commented, blogged, facebooked, or tweeted me saying that you found Birchbox because of me. I love that! Well, now I can earn points for those types of referrals. I will be adding my coded referral/affiliate link to product reviews and other posts mentioning Birchbox. I also get to display a cool badge on my blog and have the opportunity to be featured on Birchbox's site for product reviews (what I love to do best!).

Just had to share the fun news!!!
